"Funny" People Who Aren't (funny).

[A-Schwarzenegger]

Will Smith.

Altho good in "Six Degrees of Separation."

[KG]

1. adam sandler

hasnt made me laugh yet...

[Blue in a Red State]

53. I agree!

His "humor" is truly infantile.

[Rooktoven]

77. Aptly number one with a bullet.

Infantile, moronic, not in the slightest bit challenging for the performer. The fact he commands big bucks for his dreck epitomizes whats fucked up about this country.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

79. Yes, Adam Sandler!

[Rhiannon12866]

95. Me, too! He's lame and annoying!

:shrug:

[CO Liberal]

109. Glad to See I'm Not The Only One....

...who finds Adam Sandler, unfunny, annoying, and useless.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Dennis Miller

Not funny and a nasty repuke on top of that.

[physioex]

24. Washed up....

Stopped being funny well over two decades.....

[Tweed]

43. Yeah, my thoughts exactly

He was first to come to mind.

[Rhiannon12866]

96. He used to be cool, but threw it all away

If I see him, I immediately change the channel! He has certainly become both repuke AND nasty!:puke:

[peekaloo]

102. I truly believe Din-Din is on the WH payroll.

[HeyManThatsCool]

3. Carrot Top

I laughed more at Schindlers List (Where I laughed not at all)

[sonicx]

4. Carrot Top and Pauly Shore

no contest.

[Skittles]

5. Jay Leno

nt

[physioex]

21. It pisses me off....

That Leno has been ragging on Clinton forever yet let Shrub get away for over four years.

[Rhiannon12866]

97. Leno is in with Arnold

I think that this kind of turned his head. He's occasionally still funny, but, if I do tune in, it's to Letterman. He genuinely likes the Clintons, no matter what he jokes about.:shrug:

[Tweed]

44. Yeah, Leno is an idiot

[ashling]

99. Leno is a legend in his own mind

not funny

[AlCzervik]

6. Richard Jenni? i find him most unfunny

[Borgnine]

7. Craig Kilborn.

Swarmy =/= funny. The key ingredient to being funny is self-deprecation.

[burythehatchet]

42. he atually got me hooked on the Daily Show

I was crushed when he left..heh..heh

[candle_bright]

8. Hands down

the people on Nick@Nite's commercials promoting "America's Funniest Mom." So bad and unfunny I cringe with embarrassment each time I see them.

[CO Liberal]

9. "The Wake-Up Club" on KDZA-FM in Pueblo

They try to do a zany "Morning Zoo" type of radio show, but it just doesn't work...

[blondeatlast]

33. Are you from Pueblo? I spent some formative years there.

Many, many fond memories. We lived in the Highland Park area.

St. Mary Corwin Hospital is largely responsible for my still being here after a dreadful diabetic coma at age 7 (I suppose it's no longer St Mary Corwin, though).

Edit: checked your profile (I can be taught!) How is my cool little burg these days? Steel mills still operating?

[CO Liberal]

47. The Old CF&I Steel Mill is Still There

But now it's called the Rocky Mountain Steel mill, and is owned by Oregon Steel. They locked out all the union steel workers a few years ago and brought in scabs. The union fought it - it went through the courts, and the union WON!!!!

The Princess and I moved to Pueblo in 1995 when I got a job with QualMed, which is no longer here. We originally rented a house on Pine Street, not far from St. Mary Corwin. It's still here, now part of Centura Health. They're currently expanding the place.

The biggest thing to come to Pueblo is the Riverwalk, where they restored an old section of the Arkansas River down by City Hall. And there's a Convention Center down there, too.

[blondeatlast]

52. Aaaaah, home. I really miss the place.

Someday I'd love to vist. We lived in the Higland Park region, on Pinewood Lane.

I'd love to see the riverwalk.

Thanks for indulging me!

[HEyHEY]

10. Ben Stiller

[ALago1]

14. Interesting. He is pretty hit or miss with me.

Regardless, I still think he has a good sense of comedic timing.

[HeyManThatsCool]

17. Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Zoolander is one of my all time favorite movies- ever

I also liked Starsky & Hutch and Dodgeball... but I hated that movie he did with Drew Barrymore- and Along Came Polly BLEW.

[cruadin]

Have you seen "Dodgeball"? I think his character in that movie...

is funny as hell.

[HEyHEY]

22. Every thing he does seems so laboured and fake

[cruadin]

27. His characters are often "over the top" but that's part of...

his comedy style.

I guess, like most things, you either like it or you don't.

[HeyManThatsCool]

23. I like when he blows his... umm, area up

[Zuni]

61. That picture actually happened....

[Zuni]

62. Globo gym...were better than you

[blondeatlast]

34. Yeah, but Stiller and Meara were quite funny back in the day. Still are,

actually. One wonders with the gene pool what happened to Ben.

[peekaloo]

100. skipped a generation I say.

:hi:

His parents were/are very funny!

[Zuni]

60. Are You CRAZY?

Ben Stiller is my hero. Zoolamder, Dodgeball, Meet the Parents, Something about Mary are some of the funniest films ever made

[Blue Gardener]

11. Jim Carrey

Not funny, just obnoxious.

[physioex]

16. I agree.....

He is more obnoxious than funny, and his humour had gotten old..

[physioex]

12. Jerry Seinfeld.....

I know I will get some complaints for this, but I never liked the guy.

[HeyManThatsCool]

20. I love Seinfeld!! LOVE LOVE LOVE

Followed closely by "Curb your Enthusiasm"


I guess I just like that kind of humor

[blondeatlast]

36. Gotta agree. Not the stand-up, not the series. I know, I just don't "get

it." :eyes:

Hubby finds him hilarious, Seinfeld just leaves me cold and even a bit annoyed.

[catzies]

59. Seinfeld leaves me cold and annoyed too. Never found him funny

and hate that damn show.

[borlis]

76. me neither. I can't stand that whiny voice

Could you imagine the couple of Seinfeld/Fran Dresher?? OMG :puke:

[peekaloo]

101. he oozes smugma!

[jswordy]

112. "he oozes smugma" ROFL! Dammit, NOW, THAT IS FUNNY!

Wife hates him; I think he's OK.

[Spinzonner]

13. Jerry Lewis

I have no taste for Juvenile, slapstick humor.

But I honor his humanitarian work.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. I agree

I can't stand his humor.

[physioex]

19. Well I question his humanitarian work...

I sometimes wonder if he like Imus just using kids for his own self interests....

[Spinzonner]

25. To make a case of that you need to define

what 'his own self interests' are

People perform acts of good will because of the emotional rewards they get from them, either directly and essentially or because they derive something else (money, power, fame, etc.) that makes them feel good.

What are you claiming he gets from it and how is that different from other 'do-gooders' ?

[physioex]

49. I think there is a lack of accountability at MDA....

How much does Jerry take? How much money does he pay the entertainers? Those are so hard questions that never get asked.

[progmom]

66. funny, because I adore Jerry Lewis

...but I love good juvenile, slapstick humor...

[RedCloud]

117. Sorry but Jerry Lewis is a jerk!

Ruining Labor Day with his marathon...

Why not some other day?

Why not let us think about workers and their plight for one freaking day out of the year?

[dolo amber]

18. dolo amber

:cry:

[huellewig]

58. I think you are fantastic.

[Beware the Beast Man]

103. Funny-looking, perhaps.

:P

[stanwyck]

26. Dana Carvey

David Spade, Joe Piscipo...what other SNL regulars who had a few good moments on SNL but not enough talent to sustain a career. Spade has landed on a couple of sitcoms...but he just does recycled SNL schtick. And if you ever see Carvey as "himself" on a talk show, he's about as funny as that friend who's always emailing you those hilarious jokes about the differences between men and women.
.

[Elidor]

29. Yes! You nailed it for me. Spade especially

I'll add John Candy, Chevy Chase and Pauly Shore.

[CanuckAmok]

38. John Candy was pretty funny...

Think back to Planes, Trains and Autos, or his SCTV characters (Johnny LaRue, Pepe Longsocks, The Fishin' Musician, Orson Welles, Tip O'Neill's 3-D House of Representitives)...

[Rooktoven]

78. Agree about Candy on SCTV

That blowed up REAL good.

[BurtWorm]

115. David Spade and Pauly Shore are definitely not funny.

Chevy Chase had his moments. But John Candy was consistently funny on SCTV. He was especially good wen playing a short-fused sleazebag, which he didn't get to play much when he was typecast as a funny dumb fat guy by Hollywood.

[thefloyd]

90. Dana Carvey is good

Dana Carvey's standup is hilarious though. I think he was sick for a long time. Maybe why his career did not pan out. I think the Sanchez guy on SNL right now is awful

[stanwyck]

107. Even though I disagree with you about Carvey

I'm 100% with you on Sanchez....how in the world did that guy get a slot of SNL? I bet there were 50 auditions better than his. A mystery.

[Wickerman]

28. Bob Hope

even when he was alive he wasn't funny.

[physioex]

50. Marlon Brando....

Criticized him as trying to keep the limelight and empathy rather than age gracefully, and I tend to agree with Brando.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

51. Weird.

[RadicalMom]

93. I went to a taping once of one of Hope's NBC specials,

Those were always awful - not funny, very forced tired, hard to take, BUT we were very surprised to see him when those cameras were not rolling. He was hilarious! Spontaneous, bawdy, free flowing humor. The minute he went back to the scripts, it was the same old crap. The camera light would go out, and he would slay us again. This was about twenty years ago, when they invited the Tonight Show audience to go to Hope's taping after Carson. It was a treat. And free, too.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

30. Gee, all of the above!

:-(

[Zomby Woof]

31. Margaret Cho or Ellen DeGeneres

Both unabashedly, maybe even cheerfully, mediocre. I think people laugh at their jokes because they feel sorry for them.

[AlCzervik]

35. I love Margaret Cho!!

My husband got me and my friend tickets to see on mother's day about 3 years ago, it was for her revolution tour and i sear to god it was one of the funniest shows i've see,. Give her a chance, maybe you could rent one of her shows.

[Zomby Woof]

39. That's how I formed my opinion

I suffered exposure to her brand of 'comedy'.

[Boomer]

37. I'll lose my Lavender Card...

...but I agree. I didn't find Ellen funny before or after her coming out party.

Evidently I'm one of the few gay women on the face of the planet who is not amused by her More-Neurotic-Than-Thou routine.

But then, I fail to see the humor in that entire genre of comedians that appears based on extreme dysfunctional behavior: Ellen, Seinfeld, Friends, etc. They put my teeth on edge.

[sendero]

64. I disagree about Cho...

... but Degeneres was funny for about 5 minutes.

[stanwyck]

108. OK. You're wrong

just wrong. Both are funny.

[Zomby Woof]

118. It is my opinion

When I disagree with someone's opinion, I do not attack them for being wrong. A person can only be wrong if they get their facts wrong, not their opinions. Neither one of us is right, or wrong.

[stanwyck]

120. I was joking with you

guess my tone didn't come through very clearly. Of course humor is subjective. How else to explain someone like Gallagher?

[CanuckAmok]

32. David Spade

Just not funny. No....timing. Meh.

[petronius]

40. Colin Quinn

[Hatalles]

87. Colin Quinn is at the top of my list too.

Worst SNL Weekend Update Ever.
Tough Crowd.

Need I say more?

[bmovies]

41. Pauly Shore n/t

[AlCzervik]

45. about 15 years ago my husband and i were in Hawaii

and we went down to eat breakfast and Pauly shore sat right next to us, he was with his girlfriend, a porn star that later went on to kill herself, anyway, i wasn't a Pauly fan and neither was my husband so we just went along eating when he got up and asked us if we wanted his autograph or to take a picture with him, we politely declined and he started getting huffy and swearing at us...."Do you know who i am?!"...."Yes we do" and then his girlfriend grabbed him and told him he was making an ass of himself.

[Skittles]

57. the girl was Savannah

a sad, sad thing; very pretty

[AlCzervik]

65. she seemed nice and also embarrassed by his behavior

i felt bad when i heard about her death.

[lpbk2713]

73. Sounds like a work in progress.

How does an ass make an ass of himself?

[SmileyBoy]

46. Arj Barker.

Have you ever heard of this unfunny hack?? He used to host Comedy Central's Battlebots. Had a "Comedy Central Presents" stand-up special that could make coma victims fall into total death.

Completely unfunny.

[merh]

48. Jeff Foxworthy and all of those "red neck" humor jerks.

They make their fortune making fun of ignorance and racism. :puke:

[bmbmd]

106. That Ron White guy, though,

has moments of hilarity. The other three make my skin crawl.

[Blue in a Red State]

54. Will Farrell

So overrated. Wasn't impressed with either Elf or Anchorman. His message from White House West, however, was funny.

[Hardrada]

70. Victoria Jackson

Definitely not funny now in her Freeper reincarnation.

[maveric]

55. Ellen DeGeneres. Boring and not-funny.

[The empressof all]

56. Howie Mandel

I just never got why he was ever popular--guess that's why he's not anymore.

[AngryAmish]

63. Robin Williams

Just love those funny movies about the Holocaust.

[maveric]

74. Funniest Stand-Up ever.

A few shitty movies but his stand-up is great.

[Wapsie B]

84. Watching his HBO special

I thought I cracked a rib from laughing so hard.

[merh]

88. I saw Robin Williams at the Saegner Theatre in New Orleans

years ago. His stand up is great! That man's mind is tremendous. Wish he would post here, talk about a riot!

[Beaverhausen]

113. The last 10 minutes is the funniest thing I have ever seen

oh my god!!!

[mondo joe]

67. Sinbad, Carrot Top, Bernie Mac, Chevy Chase, Gallagher

Oh god... so unfunny...

[Hardrada]

68. Conan

Never found his show a source of yuks. Maybe I haven't given it that much of a chance but ...yeah... I think I have.

[mondo joe]

72. When I saw the Fall of the Third Reich acted out by kittens I knew Conan

When I saw the Fall of the Third Reich acted out by kittens I knew Conan was a comic genius.

[RadicalMom]

94. I've watched his show quite a bit, and for the most part don't find

him funny. ANd now it's worse, less funny all the time. I don't understand why NBC is giving him the Tonight Show when Leno quits, unless they are just sick of doing the show at all.

[Hardrada]

69. The Landshark will get you!!

Candygram?

[Hardrada]

86. Daffy Duck

But Donald Duck WAS funny. Figure that out.

[Rooktoven]

80. Bernie Mac has great facial expressions

and Chevy was funny while he was on SNL, but not after/

[Kat45]

82. I love Sinbad.

He's around my age and I can relate to a lot of his humor.

[blonndee]

71. Dennis Miller. **GAG** nt

[NightTrain]

75. Minnie Pearl.

"Howdy!" this, will ya?

[Kat45]

81. Gilbert Gottfried

I also agree with a lot of the previous mentions, such as Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, CarrotTop

[Blue Gardener]

98. Have to agree with Gilbert Gottfried

Obnoxious does not equal funny.

[bvar22]

83. Larry,

but Curley and Moe were OK.

[Hardrada]

85. Charlie Chaplin

Gassing people in street light fixtures never struck me as funny. I also don't get the humor of Buster Keaton but he did some amazing stunts.
Laurel and Hardy consistently funny save for the last decade. The last several films of the Marx Bros. also jumped the shark. Groucho said they only made them to pay Chico's big gambling debts.
W.C. Fields funny. Burns & Allen, were they really funny beyond the "Say Goodnight, Gracie" routine? And I thought Dennis Day and Rochester were funnier than Jack Benny (though he caused me some chuckles now and then.) I think we missed a lot by not seeing any of these people in live vaudeville when they were a lot younger.

[donheld]

89. Bob Saget and anyone else involved with "Full House"

[ScreamingMeemie]

104. John Stamos is actually pretty funny, and a great guy in real life.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

105. Drew Carey, Jerry Seinfeld.

:puke: Hated those shows...

[donheld]

110. And cute as well.

[nytemare]

119. Oh he was awful hosting "Funniest Videos"

That stupid deadpan waiting for a laugh. Just play the damn video already.

[JVS]

91. At DU or in the world at large?

[fujiyama]

92. Some of those mentioned

in this thread as well as that guy that used to be on SNL - the former news guy. It was the guy after Kevin Nealon but before Colin Quin (who also isn't funny at all).

[AVID]

111. Drew Carrry

[redqueen]

114. Larry the Cable Guy

[BurtWorm]

116. I disagree about Will Smith

He was pretty damn funny in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, although his foil (the guy who played Carlton) is often actually much funnier.
